THE HISTORY OF PIN-HI GOLF COURSE

In 1960 Carl Morach and Fred Boswick leased the land from John F. Thomas and developed a driving range and miniature golf course. In the 1964 they opened a short par 3 course. Ed and Bea Robinson leased the property in 1977 adding many up-grades at the same time maintaining the popular short course. In 1992 holes 3, 4 and 5 were lengthened and changed from par 3 to 4. Glenn Robinson joined his father as an owner in 1999 and in 2004 holes 2 and 8 were rerouted to the current layout today.

MOMENTS FROM THE PAST:

1987 - Pin-Hi wins the Crown Life N.S. Team Championship. Team consisted of Ed Robinson, Shawn Currie, Gerry Chaisson and playing pro Terry White. The team represented Nova Scotia at the national championships at Bally Hally Golf Club in Newfoundland.

1999 - Glenn Robinson wins a spot on N.S. Willingdon Cup team at Hartlen's Point G.C. at the N.S. team trials in a playoff. It is the first time a Pin-Hi member has qualified for a provincial Willingdon Cup team.
